agreed on the race routine tip — i'm just doing it to mix things up a bit. plus, i really like KNOWING exactly what's in my food.
current experiment: whole wheat pancake mix, threw in some blueberry muesli, agave nectar, eggs, olive oil & cook on skillet -- they're good! a bit on the dry side in terms of trying to eat while gasping for air. but, it's the off season, so it's generally all chill/base miles right now.
going to try my hand at some flax, nuts, dried fruits, oats, wheat germ, honey type of bars.
